wages than they intended. The evening |
papers of Saturday published an alleged
account of the same. We have taken
some pains 10 ascertain the true inward
ness Of the affair with the following re-
suit; Last December several polishers
experts at the business, who had worked
there for quite period, discovered that
men hired in from the street were re-
Ceiving more wages per week than they
could possibly earn at the established
prices, and applied themselves to the
task Of finding ont why "this was thus
they found that among those hired in by
the foreman, Mr.. Ilauth, was one
brother, two brothers.in-Iaw, and one
uncle; and they further found that the
men receiving the good wages were
making weekly presents to the foreman,
while they were hcing frozen out; by
doing their utmost they could not get
more than twelve dollars per week.
They then got into the confidence Of one
of the fortunate men and learned that it
paid to be generous to the foreman if
they wished to keep their job at all.
About that time the foreman came to
them pleading poverty, intlmating that
if they would contribute to his relief a
dollar each they would not loose by it in
the long run, which they did; after this
the foreman explained to them that he
would add to their account weekly
enough SO they could afford to give him
a dollar per week each. This system
worked well enough but these men did
not like that method OF getting fair
wages, and resolved to expose the whole
business to Mr.. Sargent and ask him to
pay price so that they could make fair
wages without any crooked business, and
went to the general office of the company
| for that purpose and asked to see Mr.
| Sargent about a grievance in the shop,
and he sent back word that he would not
see them; nothing dauuted they then
asked to see Mr., Stetson who was called
| through the telephone and answered
back that he had no time to listen to
any grievances; they then returned to
their work and rs by that method they
could get fair wages, to work and await
IN opportunity Of exposing the fraud or
until the company would listen to griev-
ances
Now, as to the further inwarlness OF
the the matter, when Stets0n came there
rs assistant superintendent some Of the
foremen worked against him and CON
nived at having the work done badly
that it might appear to the company the
new assistant was incompetent, but wher
Stetson succeeded the superintendent
these foremen wanted to put themselves
in the good graces of the new superin
tendent, and knew there was no better
way of doing SO than by showing them
selves experts in reducing wages to tn,
lowest possible figure; such was the cast
in the polishing department., with Tho
result that they got the prices SO low
that the men could only get enough fo
living wages by some crooked arrange
ment III making up accounts; hence thu
fraud

To the lIOrkmen'S .1}rOcdte:
1t is a singular thing and must be
source of amusement to all thoughtful
people to witness the interest mafested
by "protestants' in the affairs Of the
catholic church and people who, until
IA recent period, were the most virulent
enemies Of the catholic religion. Minis
tiers who formerly preached sermons and
editors who wrote editorials upon the
danger to our American institutions
from R0manlsn, are now appealing to
the members of that same Roman Cath
Ollie church, to be steadfast in support Of
the church machine against their rebel
lous members who refuse to be dictated
to from Rome in reference to their poll
tics, This points moral so plain that
all who will may read. The protestants
as well rs the Catholic churches are twin
machines used by the capitalistic classes
to bolster up and maintain the existing
damnabIe social and industrial system
that keeps the great mass Of the work
ers in helpless and hopeless poverty that
the rich may be still further enriched.

A water aud Light Famine.

FoRT WAYNE, Ind, Nov. lS.-The city OF
Fort Wayne, with population Of 10000,
seems TO he about to experience the hor-
rors Of water famine. Because OF the long

we'll rs the small streams that contribute
TO II, has 40 failed that not enough OF
pressure is given 10 the mains TO operate
the elevators in the hotels and other tall
buildings and their use has been aban-

has served notice upon the city that not
enough water can be had from the mains
TO supply their engines, and the incon-

at night is TO be added 10 the promised

An Honest Face.

Alexandria Town Talk
Mr.. 3. Hunter in a speech the
other night delivered to the Alexan-
dria Nichols Club, said that there
was an unperceivable and unaccount.
able something that seldom failed to
show the honesty of man by look
ing at his face and shaking him by
the hand.
A man looking at General Frsnc;s
T. Nichols, and grasping his hand
cannot help saying to himself: "Here
is an honest man; here is man that
will stand by his friends; here is a
man whose word is as good as his
bond; here is man who would not
publish private letters for selfish
ends; here is man who could gov
ern the State without Burke or a
Houston at his elbow; here is a man
who would not have "boss in every
parish here is man who would not
keep defaulter in Office a day after
he became cognizant of the fact
here is a man who would not appoint
men to parish Offices against the
wishes of the Democrats of those
parishes; here is a man who, to please
one of his '1ieutenants," would not
keep prisoner in Jail when the
courts had sentenced that prisoner
to the penitentiary; here is a man
who if elected Governor will be of
the people, by the people, and for
the whole people.
Yes, any reasonable man; any
honest, conscientious man, looking
in the face of Gen. Francis T. Mich
oils, could not help thinking as we
have written above. His face shows
his honesty and ability, his absent
leg and arm tell of his bravery.
How truthful and expressive are
these words; seFaces are as legible
as books, only with these circumstan-
ces to recommend them to our peru
sal, that they are read in much less
time, and are much less likely to
deceive us"
The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1887-11-24

Ruston Caligraph: "The Execu.
tive Office is the only one, the con-
tinued occupation Of which is pro-
hibited by constitutional provision
in the constitution of those States
which have declared against it. The
same reasons for rotation in Office
do not exist in connection with any
other Office as apply to that Of the
executive. In no other one officer
of the State is the entire authority
and power of the Office centered in
and exercised exclusively by one
man. In all others this power is
disseminated among a number of
officers, and therefore the danger re-
sulting from the concentration of ex-
elusive power In one man is wanting
in the case Of every other Office"

Gen. FIT. Nichols on Party Unity
Manufacturing In the South.

The South need raise no better crop
than cotton If manufactured as well
Is grown here. We are without q
competitor in this line, and we can
never have . competitor to fear.
What we need is to place ourselves
in the position where we will sell the
manufactured article instead of the
raw material. We should have all
the profits of manufacturing as well
as growing, and keep in our section
the money which our great staple
produces.
This is rapidly being DONE The
growth of manufacturing enterprises
during the past ten years has been
unprecedented, and it seems now
that it is but the beginning Of peri
cd Of manufacturing prosperity
which will place the South not only
abreast with the other sections of
the union, but abreast with the other
sections of the world.
We have grand country. No bet
ter can be found anywhere. With
natural resources unexcelled-per-
haps unequaled-we need nothing
but energy and capital to mako our
country what it should be; and ener-
gy is not lacking. We have few
idlers among us-as few as can be
found anywhere-and the rapid
gains we. are making, point to the
time when poverty will no longer be
cur curse.
